在近年高考英語試題中,分詞短語與從句的考查比較頻繁。大家都知道分詞短語可以在句中作定語、狀語、賓補(bǔ)和表語,但你知道這時(shí)的分詞短語可以與從句相互轉(zhuǎn)化嗎?下面就一般情況下分詞短語在句中作定語或狀語時(shí)與從句的轉(zhuǎn)化進(jìn)行介紹。
一、作定語的分詞短語與定語從句的轉(zhuǎn)化。
1.現(xiàn)在分詞短語作定語時(shí),一般都放在所修飾的名詞或代詞的后面,我們可以用定語從句來轉(zhuǎn)換,這時(shí)在意思上和一個(gè)定語從句沒有區(qū)別。
I dont know the person talking with my English teacher.
=I dont know the person who is talking with my English teacher.
我不認(rèn)識(shí)和我們英語老師說話的那個(gè)人?
2.現(xiàn)在分詞短語作定語時(shí),分詞所表示動(dòng)作發(fā)生的時(shí)間在變?yōu)閺木鋾r(shí),一般有下面兩種情況。
1)分詞表示經(jīng)常性動(dòng)作、現(xiàn)在或當(dāng)時(shí)的狀態(tài),變?yōu)閺木鋾r(shí)用一般時(shí)態(tài)。
The monument standing in the middle of the playground was built in 1999.
=The monument that stands in the middle of the playground was built in 1999.
操場中間的紀(jì)念碑是1999年建的。
2)分詞表示正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作,變?yōu)閺木鋾r(shí)需用進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)。
Tell the children playing there not to make so much noise.
=Tell the children who are playing there not to make so much noise.
讓那些在那兒玩的孩子們別這么吵。
二、作狀語的分詞短語與狀語從句的轉(zhuǎn)化。
1.現(xiàn)在分詞短語可以用作時(shí)間狀語,通常可以轉(zhuǎn)化為由when,while和after引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句。
Seeing the house, he couldnt help thinking of the miserable days.
=When he saw the house, he couldnt help thinking of the miserable days.
看到那座房子,他不禁想起那些悲慘的日子。
如果分詞用的是完成形式,表示分詞的動(dòng)作完成以后,謂語表示的動(dòng)作才發(fā)生,轉(zhuǎn)化為從句時(shí)要用完成時(shí)態(tài)的謂語形式。
Having sung an English song, they began to have their class.
=After they had sung an English song, they began to have their class.
他們唱了一首英語歌之后就開始上課。
以as soon as引導(dǎo)的狀語從句的主語若與主句主語一致時(shí),可用on十v-ing形式簡化狀語從句,此時(shí)的動(dòng)詞為非延續(xù)性動(dòng)詞。
Dr Bethune began to operate on the wounded soldiers as soon as he arrived at the village.
=Dr Bethune began to operate on the wounded soldiers on arriving at the village.
白求恩大夫一到那個(gè)村子就給受傷的戰(zhàn)士動(dòng)手術(shù)。
2.過去分詞短語可以用作原因狀語,相當(dāng)于一個(gè)表示原因的狀語從句。
Influenced by his example, they performed countless good deeds.
=As they were influenced by his example, they performed countless good deeds.
在他的事跡的影響下,他們做了無數(shù)的好事。
Since I didnt know Chinese, I tried to speak to her in English.
=Not knowing Chinese, I tried to speak to her in English.
既然我不懂漢語,那我盡力用英語和她說。
3.連詞(when, before, after, while, though)+ 現(xiàn)在分詞。
While walking along the street, I heard my name called.
=While I was walking along the street, I heard my name called.
當(dāng)我沿著街道走的時(shí)候,我聽見有人叫我。
After she sang, she left the rich mans house.
=After singing, she left the rich mans house.
她唱好了歌離開了那富人的家。
4.連詞 (when, if, even if, unless, once, until, than, as) + 過去分詞。
The exhibition is more interesting than expected.
=The exhibition is more interesting than it was expected. 這個(gè)展覽比料想的有趣。
